What is a dedicated server? And what's the advantage and disadvantage?

Dedicated server means the subscriber independently rents a server for his website to visit or provides his own service. Compared to shared web hosting, you neednâ€™t worry about the CPU limit. And you can have the root permission which is the highest permission in Linux system. Whatâ€™s more, you can install software you like at your sole discretion. Of course, it's more expensive. The disadvantage is that the customer should qualify some knowledge on the security of the server, or it will bring him a great loss when there is a security leak.Â
